I used to do a lot of R/C aerobatic competition flying which was great sport. I might enjoy the cars, especially drifting. I really enjoy that on the computer on "Grid."

I've got a 1/8th scale nitro HPI Savage and a petrol 1/5th HPI Baja.

Well into these after getting the Savage for Christmas. Saw a Baja in real life shortly afterwards and fell in love with them, felt I had to get one!

More off-road than your RS4, but along the same sort of lines. What size nitro engine does it run on? How are you getting on with the tuning?

all fun and games i have my carb set to not even a mm and the clutch right out so it holds as the thing is just so high on idle. i have adjusted the idle screw but anyless and it just bogs down when you want to pull away i then fiddled with the mixture screw but that just ran it to lean and noked it off all the time, so i need to do more tweaking to get it spot on. but i have damaged the carb clup that pulls the slider so need to but another part lol. but its good fun fixing it

I have been racing these since i was 13, 37 now (sad i know lol) started off racing 10th scale buggys/off road, went to touring cars, done a bit of 12th scale and now just race mardave v 12s with brushless motors.
try this phone number for the bodyshell you require, 01745592111 he is a jolly nice chap and will go out of his way to help you find what you are after, dave is his name he runs a shop called T.O.P. models. good luck mate.
If anyone wants any info on electric rc stuff, i'm your man. Craig.
